November Finds

It was the last flea market of the year :( I know, it makes me sad! I'm getting used to wait for that first Saturday of every month, walking up and down the lines of vendors looking for something, something at a good price :)

Now I'll have to wait until Spring. It sounds like a long time and I'm going to miss it, it's so close.
During Winter I'm going to try and save a Saturday for "Thrift Store day", let's see if I stick to that plan ;)

OK, let's see the treasures I found :) Lately I've been loving these vintage wooden tape measures. Early this year I bought two at an antique store, the price: $8 for each one. Now I know, that was a fortune :/ I got two more at the flea market for only fifty cents each, and they even look more "vintage".

It looks like I'm also collecting shelves. I got this one that looks like the mantel in my family room. $2.

The Holidays are getting closer, there were lots of Christmas decorations, though I didn't get much of that stuff. The ones that came home with me where these angels.

Look at those pretty faces :) I got five, two are not in the pictures, they were $4.

These set of jar/containers were FREE! Ha, nothing beats free, right.

I love the rusty lid on this jar.

And the closure on this Wisconsin Homestead container, I'm looking for a place to display them.

Last but not least, this cute table. It wasn't at the flea market, it was a Craiglist find.

What a great drop-leaf table! It would be perfect for a sewing table. I love it. Sorry your flea markets curtail for the winter. Mine is one weekend a month, all year through! Good idea to check out the re-sale shops though. Good hunting!

The angels are such a precious find, they have such sweet faces. The drop leaf table is gorgeous and I know you will figure out exactly what will work the best on this little beauty. If the scratches aren't to deep on the leaf I would tend to want to restore it. Otherwise I can see navy blue with those lion head pulls. Just a thought.

I love your finds! I only have one more flea market the 3rd week in November and I think it will be too cold to bother going. Oh well.I had those angels when I was a kid! So crazy to see them again after all these years. Of course I would totally paint the table. It would be cool if you painted everything, but left the metal details metal. I think you could refinish the top. Maybe use a stripe of paint around the edges of the table where the damage is, but stain the rest.
